Sophie Cunningham faces a fine after a flagrant foul
Sophie Cunningham faces a $500 WNBA fine after receiving a Flagrant 1 foul on Chelsea Gray during Indiana’s playoff opener against Las Vegas.
Sophie Cunningham was fined $500 for a Flagrant 1 foul during the opening playoff game of the 2026 WNBA season. The Indiana Fever guard committed the foul against the Las Vegas Aces, which resulted in a one-game suspension if she accumulated 4 flagrant points during the playoffs. The foul occurred in the first quarter when Cunningham contested a shot by Aces guard Chelsea Gray near the perimeter.
The upgraded foul gave Gray 2 free throws and possession of the ball, but Cunningham remained eligible to play for Indiana. Cunningham's contribution to Indiana was significant, as she scored 13 points in 28 minutes off the bench, including 3 three-pointers.
